And what would a birthday celebration be without a cake? But with more than one would-be baker among King Hugo’s most trusted subjects there’s hot competition for job.

Determined to take home the title of star baker in King Hugo’s birthday bake-off, Nanny McWheeze is enlisting all the help that she can get, and is calling on the men of Coventry to help her.

Think you know a man who would like a slice of the on-stage action?

The Belgrade Theatre needs the public to nominate male friends, relatives or colleagues who won’t be afraid to get stuck in on stage.
